Flipped is a success!
ByDerekCongratulations to Michele, Marc, and everyone who made Flipped possible! Amanda and I saw the second screening tonight, and it is a very well done film. I was glad to see that it wasn’t over-dramatized, and really just let the issue speak for itself, which was powerful enough. Sam Hoyt said in the film that…

Go Suozzi!
ByDerekUnfortunately, I can be of little help in the voting booth to get Tom Suozzi through the primary, but I can help share his message. Hop over to WNYMedia.net for the video of last night’s Town Hall Meeting in West Seneca and to BuffaloGeek and SpeakupWNY.com for reviews. I have no faith that Spitzer will…

Demand a windfall profits tax… on farmers!
ByDerekHow I love the Tax Foundation‘s ability to put things into perspective. As oil prices have hit record highs along with oil company profits (and thereby the returns to shareholders), many in Congress are calling for a windfall profits tax on oil companies. They argue that those profits are somehow unjustified. But what about another…

House for sale
ByDerekI have a coworker who is selling his house (57 Conway, Depew, NY 14043, MLS: B369543). I wanted to try my hand at real estate photography, so I offered to come over and take some photos for him (the real reason I borrowed the 10-22mm lens from another coworker). The sun was strong, the light…

From all those photographs, the one that struck me (and probably not many others) the most is the one with the bicycles all lined up. The juxtaposition of very modern with the very communist-egalitarian is a hoot. I have a similar photograph from my trip to Shanghai – hundreds upon hundreds of bicycles, all virtually identical, Schwinn-looking, rust-covered, circa 1950s. I never did find out if they were community property or individually owned, but I couldn’t imagine knowing how to tell mine from the others, had I owned one.
I guess you had to be there.

Hooters in China….. I like them more and more all the time.
Have seen many of your photos, but I don’t really remember alot of them not to say that they aren’t good but there are a few here that have really caught my eye — the black and white tree lined pathway is amazing. I also really enjoyed the sunset skyline shot and night lites shot. Very good shots Derek from what looks like an amazing place to visit.
